UiTM JENGKA, 8 May 2026 – The Pahang Biodiversity Tour 2026 continued its outreach efforts through a collaborative session with strategic partners, involving the Faculty of Plantation and Agrotechnology, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Cawangan Pahang, Kampus Jengka. The programme brought together 40 participants to promote biodiversity awareness and citizen science through field-based learning.
Participants took part in a biodiversity exploration activity at the UiTM Cawangan Pahang plantation area, where they conducted field observations and documented various plant and animal species found within the surrounding environment. The activity provided valuable hands-on experience in biodiversity monitoring while encouraging participants to appreciate the richness of local ecosystems.
Throughout the programme, participants demonstrated strong teamwork, enthusiasm, and a keen interest in identifying and recording biodiversity. The session also highlighted the importance of community participation in environmental conservation through scientific observation and data collection.
Participants were encouraged to continue exploring biodiversity within their respective communities and contribute their findings through the iNaturalist platform. Every observation uploaded contributes to a growing biodiversity database that supports research, conservation, and environmental management initiatives.
The programme reflects UiTM Cawangan Pahang's commitment to promoting environmental sustainability, scientific literacy, and community engagement through strategic partnerships. It also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 15: Life on Land, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, by fostering environmental education, biodiversity conservation, and collaborative initiatives.
